RTC Build Engine and Deployment
On behalf of one of our customer:
----- Hello, We are trying to automate the deployment of applications using Jazz Build Engine. From our understanding RTC is able to build an application but is unable to deploy it. But using additional tasks inside a ant script we can deploy applications. We are able to build and deploy applications as a "whole" but our problem is handling database objects or deploy specific objects. Does RTC provide any way to deploy single application objects from the stream instead of the whole application? Example: I have a web application and I want to deploy a "hello.html" file (which doesn't need to be compiled) is there any way to deploy just this file and not whole application? I haven't tried Urban Code, is it possible that urban code provides this functionality? Using a "package" approach, assuming that a change set represents a package. Is there a way when promoting/deliver a change set to a stream, RTC will deploy the items associated with it? Example: Sql files associated to a change set, while promoting/deliver the change set, the sql files would be deployed and ran on a remote machine. (Using CLM 4.0.6.) Thank you. ----- |

Let me take a stab at the UrbanCode Deploy side of the question.
UrbanCode Deploy has a concept of Application (you can think of an EAR) that references one or more Components (think of a WAR), and what you deploy are sets of Component Versions. A version can be either Full or Incremental. For the case where you want to deploy just the changed html file, you'd want to use an Incremental Version. UrbanCode Deploy has plugins to target deployment to many different Application Server types. If using WAS for example, you'd have a step called Update Application: https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugindoc/ibmucd/application-deployment-websphere-plug/74-2/steps/#update_application It also has plugins to work with many different Database types. The DBUpgrader plugin for instance is used to make subsequent changes to databases: https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugin/ibm-urbancode-deploy-dbupgrader-ibmucd/ You can check the complete UCD plugin list from here: https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugins/ibm-urbancode-deploy/ You can move artifacts from RTC to UCD in various ways: 1. Use the built-in Post Build Deploy (available from RTC 4.0.5 onwards) http://sudhakarf.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/old-dog-new-trick-rtc-and-urbancode-deploy/ https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugin/rational-team-concert-build/ 2. Use a custom UCD script leveraging the udclient. Main methods you need to call are: create version and add files to version 3. Use the Rational Team Concert Source Config type https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugin/rational-team-concert-scm/ For questions specific to UCD, you can use this forum: https://developer.ibm.com/answers/smartspace/urbancode/ Thank you and regards, Lara |
